The Darkness is Real Get Swallowed Do You Believe in It? |
In addition to the normal levels, most supernaturals have a signature power. This power is usually Level Six or above and can even get past Level Seven. The downfall to these powers are a huge backlash to the user, resulting in sicknesses and even death.
So this is all good, but if you have a level one power, how do you upgrade? Simple. You use points! There are two types of currency on this board. Points and Money. Points are specifically used to upgrade powers. The prices to upgrade are down below and please note that a person from a Level One power cannot suddenly skip to a Level Three power.
Now how do you earn points? There are a few ways to earn points, so lets list them off:
- One is trading in your cash for points. $1 is equivalent to 100 points and the same is true in reverse.
- Another way is to go on quests. These are small missions that have rewards either given by the mods or by a fellow student. Think of it like a guild (fairy tail).
- There are even rewards for doing a thread! Depending on the length and depth of the thread you might be eligible for a reward.
- During events held you might be able to earn points for completing challenges.
- Maybe a friend is nice and they can gift some points!
Finally done, well almost. The final topic is how to keep track of your points. Well apart from the mods keeping track of everyone's points, (o.o yes we are always watching) you should have your own tracker. These trackers should go in the tracker section of the board and NOT the Power Shop.
NOTE: Besides following the guidelines of your species in terms of abilities and powers, there really is no limit to what you can give your character. Why is this? Well if there were stats, things would be too structured and people would spend more time worrying about stats then the actual plot. The goal of this board is to make a fun environment for people to enjoy while expressing themselves and their ideas.
- Level 1 - This level is for when someone first discovers a new power or ability. These can be as strong as you like, but be warned the stronger your power is in the start, the harder it will be to control it. In addition if you have an insanely strong power, there could be a chance it could overwhelm you and it will eat away your essence.
- Level 2 - Finally! You made it to the second tier. People at this level have more control over their power and it gets a bit stronger
- Level 3 - This sadly isn't much of a change from Level 2, though you do gain more control and this is the prime time to be developing your ability or power.
- Level 4 - This level is special as it is when your power or ability can develop into something greater. For example: If someone had advanced hearing and they trained during Level 3, they could develop the power to read minds!
- Level 5 - Again this is another level that is similar to the previous one. However, this is an important time to be able to control your power or ability and not let it overwhelm you. It is common for a person with a power to have a bigger struggle for control then a person with an ability.
- Level 6 - This level is a stand still level. It could be called the calm before the storm. This is the time where nothing happens. You don't gain anything new and many people might think they lost their power (which can happen) This is when your power is leveling up on it's own and getting stronger for you to be able to be almighty!
- Level 7 - At this level you are at an all mighty state. Being almost godlike, but there will be great downfalls. With a power or ability this strong there will be severe damage to your mental and physical health. Many people have gone insane because of overusing their abilities.

SIGNATURE POWER
What is a signature power?
This is a power or ability that you were naturally born with and have a strong affinity towards that power. It does not need to be strong from the moment of birth, but as a person grows up it will grow in power even without being used. A signature power will never stop advancing in power, though as one gets older it will start to slow down, but never stop. This is saying there is infinite power with these abilities. Almost all nobles and all purebloods have a signature power. Hybrids are also at a high risk for a signature power.
Is there any difference between a signature power and a normal one?
No, besides the level of energy and power there is no difference. A vampire can have enhanced speed at Level Five while another has a signature power of enhanced speed. The difference is that the signature power will soon out rank the person with the Level Five.
What are the dangers?
Now a signature power is forbidden to be used past the age of sixteen. This is because many of them can cause large amounts of destruction. The other danger is that since most people do not use this power often many people get corrupted which leads to their downfall.
Does everyone have one?
No! You must be born with a signature power. From birth is is completely random, but is effected by genes and the environment. Though a signature power is not always desirable as there are some powers and abilities that can ruin a person.
NOTE: Remember people. Everyone wants the awesome strong badass powers, but that's not always the best. Roleplaying is best when you can develop a character, so if they already start at the strength of a God, how can they develop?
As a final note to this long post please remember that even though this system is very loose, we are trusting it will not be abused or we might need to get strict which is never fun. We will check people's powers and have the right to deny you that power. Don't worry though, if that happens to you we'll work together to find a way to make a power that you like.
